Note: A query may have multiple results. If this is the case, a results page will appear
listing each result along with the track it is associated with. Once selected, the result will
be displayed in the Browser with a highlighted tag, making it easier to identify.

Sample Queries

Below is a list of examples that might be used to query the Genome Browser. Note that not every query
listed here will produce a result in every assembly. The list serves only to illustrate the different
types of queries that can be performed.

Query:

Genome Browser Response:

chr7

Displays all of chromosome 7

chr3:1-1000000

Displays the first million bases of chromosome 3, counting from the p-arm telomere

chr3:1000000+2000

Displays a region of chromosome 3 that spans 2000 bases, starting with position 1000000

chrUn_gl000212

Displays all of the unplaced contig gl000212

chr6_GL285171_random

Displays the non-localized contig GL285171

GL192360

Displays all of scaffold GL192360

20p13

Displays the region for band p13 on chromosome 20

374180

Displays the region containing Entrez Gene identifier 374180

AA205474

Displays the region containing the EST with Genbank accession AA205474 in the BRCA1 cancer gene on chromosome 17

AC008101

Displays the region containing the clone with Genbank accession AC008101

AF083811

Displays the region containing the mRNA with Genbank accession number AF083811

Displays the region between genome landmarks, such as the STS markers RH18061 and RH80175, or chromosome
bands 15q11 to 15q13, or SNPs rs1042522 and rs1800370. This syntax may also be used for other range queries,
such as between uniquely determined ESTs, mRNAs, refSeqs, etc.

pseudogene mRNA

Lists transcribed pseudogenes, but not cDNAs

p53

Lists mRNAs related to the p53 tumor suppressor

T-cell receptor

Lists mRNAs for T-cell receptor genes in Genbank

breast cancer

Lists mRNAs associated with breast cancer

homeobox caudal

Lists mRNAs for caudal homeobox genes

zinc finger

Lists zinc finger mRNAs

kruppel zinc finger

Lists only kruppel-like zinc fingers

huntington

Lists candidate genes associated with Huntington's disease

zahler

Lists mRNAs deposited by a scientist named Zahler

Evans,J.E.

Lists mRNAs deposited by co-author J.E. Evans

Use this last format for author queries. Although Genbank requires the search format Evans JE,
internally it uses the format Evans,J.E.
